Abstract
A Power Transfer Unit (PTU) has a housing with at least one side having an outer surface. One or more standoffs are provided at the at least one side of the housing and extend outward from the outer surface of the housing. A thermal deflector formed as a flat plate is attached to the standoffs at a predetermined distance from the outer surface of the housing. The flat plate deflects heat from nearby components, such as the catalytic converter and/or exhaust pipe, away from the PTU.
